Jeremy Lin has always been one of the NBA’s most worldly and socially conscious players. But the Nets point guard admits his “perspective” has been changed after a trip to Asia, where he saw the impact of human trafficking firsthand.

Lin had teamed up with charities One Day’s Wages (which raises awareness about girls’ education) and the Hug Project in Thailand. Before his latest trip to Asia, he emailed his fans, saying, “I’m praying for an awesome trip where I expand my perspective/view on the world and find convictions from the Holy Spirit on where and with who to partner with for my foundation.”

Apparently Lin got just that.

He flew to Asia and connected with Eugene Cho, a pastor and leader for One Day’s Wages. On Tuesday, Cho posted a photo of himself and Lin on Instagram. The photo showed them walking through one of the red-light districts of Bangkok, where an estimated 10,000 sex workers — many of them kids — are exploited daily.

Lin had donated his game check from the Nets’ March 17 game at Boston to One Day’s Wages, and plans to do so again next season.

“Millions of girls across the globe are unable to get the education they need to provide for themselves and their families. This is due to unaffordable school fees, forced child marriage, lack of sanitary products when they reach puberty, and many other barriers,” Lin wrote on the charity’s website. “My hope is to shed some light on these issues, and invite you to join me in taking action.”

Still, Lin went above and beyond what Cho and his charity could have hoped.

“I was taken back that he didn’t just want to make a financial donation but shared that he and his team also wanted to genuinely learn more about the various issues of global justice — both challenges and hopeful aspects,” Cho said on his post.

“We talked about taking a trip together but I honestly didn’t think his team would follow through. Not that I questioned their heart but his schedule is crazy and he’s constantly training. Add my schedule — even without training. But by God’s grace, it happened.”

The Nets are reportedly interested in bringing Jan Vesely back to the NBA, according to Basketball Insiders. The 76ers and Mavericks are also interested in the 6-foot-11 Czech forward, who recently won the EuroLeague crown with Fenerbahçe. The 27-year-old was selected by the Wizards as the No. 6 overall pick of the 2011 draft.
